    <p>First of all, thanks to the guys of <a href="http://www.documentcloud.org/home" rel="nofollow">DocumentCloud</a> for releasing those two super-useful tools.</p> <p>Here goes my question(s):</p> <p>I'm trying to use visulasearch.js in a backbone.js app.</p> <p>In my app I have a basic index.html and a myapp.js javascript file wich contains the main application done with backbone.js<br></p> <p>I use CouchDB as data storage, and I successfully can retrieve in a restful way all the data to be put in the collection.<br> I must retrieve the search query given by visualsearch.js and use it to filter a collection.<br> I surely need a view for the searchbox, to trigger an event when enter is hit, but..</p> <ol> <li><p>Should I initialze the searchbox externally to myapp.js, within an additional js file or my index.html page (as suggested in the <a href="http://documentcloud.github.com/visualsearch/" rel="nofollow">visualsearch mini.tutorial</a>)? Or I should initialize it within the searchbox view (myapp.js)? This latter solution seems to be too tricky (it was what I was trying to do, but even when I succeed, it's too complicated and I lost the simplicity of bacbone mvc).</p></li> <li><p>Let's say I succeed in retrieving the search string as a JSON object like <code>{name:'Fat DAvid', address:'24, slim st', phone:'0098876534287'}</code>. Once done that, which function can I use to retrieve, in the collection, only the models whose fields match with the given string. I understand that I should do a map or a filter, but those function seems to serve natively for slightly different tasks.</p> <p>a. is it really the best way to filter results? It charges the client (which must filter the results), while making a new query (a view or a filter) to CouchDB would be quite simple and, considered the small amount of data and the low access rate to the site, not so expensive. However, making all the filtering action client-side, it's much simpler than making new view(or list or filters) in CouchDB and linking it the the backbone.js view</p></li> </ol>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
